so let me get this straight, the only piece of amour i need to equip my dwarves starting from the next update is a helm right  :o

No, because the enemies would then just target their squishy innards.

It's important, but they'll just go for the next most vital unarmored body part.

Also, I'm guessing that even if reach hasn't been implemented, the most important body parts of the conscious are probably just made inherently harder to attack.

I think I'll be chopping off some hands and feet, and then pull some teeth out one at a time.

Sweet. I'd like to try shooting off someone's left lower back tooth with an arrow...from several tiles away...while also a few z levels up...with an injured arm & eye...while winded, drowsy, hungry & thirsty...

Pretty sure that would be rather hard, considering the numbers involved.

I'm not even sure if arrows are included in the aimed shot thing, since they're effected by physics and all sorts of other crap.

If it is, then I'm more hyped for it  :o

 Upcoming update... but it's so close that we can practically taste it.

 Well, 31.18. That will be the bugfix release after this next odd (and we all know what odd releases are like) one. So you might be back and playing by next Wednesday.

I've had adventurers loose their weapon after loosing a finger and have had dwarves still using a weapon after loosing two arms.

Edit: spelling...

I rarely do this, but if you're going to be vigilant about spelling mistakes, I might as well point out that it's spelled "lose."
Loose might still work in this instance, as in, he let loose his fingers across the room. :)  Although, I suppose the one losing their fingers wouldn't be the one loosing them. :)

Indeed. Either way, you probably can't lose your finger and loose it in the same motion, unless you're swinging your hand around really quickly
